History
Mansonville United Church, initially of Methodist denomination, was organized in 1873. A first church building was erected around 1878 and was destroyed by fire in 1893 with all its belongings. A year later, the church building was rebuilt. In 1925, when the United Church of Canada was founded, amalgamating the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches, the Mansonville Methodist Church decided to join the Union. In 1964, Vale Perkins joined Mansonville to form a two-point Pastoral Charge. A year later, Austin and Bolton Centre joined Mansonville and Vale Perkins to form the Mansonville-Austin Pastoral Charge. In 1967, when Austin decided to join Ayer's Cliff-Magog Pastoral Charge, the name of the Pastoral Charge was changed to Mansonville-Bolton Centre Pastoral Charge. In the 1980s, the pastoral charge was renamed Mountain Valley Pastoral Charge. The Mansonville United Church was closed and the building was sold by the pastoral charge in 2010.
Mansonville United Church was under the jurisdiction of the Quebec and Sherbrooke Presbytery of the Montreal and Ottawa Conference of the United Church of Canada. The Church was governed by the Board of Trustees and the Congregation in cooperation with organizations within the Church, such as the United Church Women.
